    I doubt it. They can make an eeepc in any size. the term simply means a really cheap notebook. 11" eeepc does not exist although nothing stopping them from making one other then reducing margins

    The closest 11" EEE would be the S121 but that they claim "isnt" a EEE and it is 12" it will probably also command a premium

    a net book has to be 10 inches to be called a netbook. so any 11incher will be a notebook. the s121 is not out yet. but its the s101's big brother. it was shown at ces

    Well, it's whatever Intel wants to call it, but the fact it has the same specs as most netbooks AND can not do what most notebooks do, I'm not convinced that the S121 is a notebook.
    Just like how Sony strongly insists on calling their new P series a luxury ultraportable "notebook", doesn't mean it's really a notebook.

    No sweat :)

    well i believe in tell "requires" the 10inch to be considered in the netbook category. you cant use a discrete GPU, and microsoft caps the harddrive space at 160GB to be able to distribute xp.
